Extract

The mantles of the small squid Alloteuthis, the larger Loligo, and the cuttlefish Sepia contain an elaborate framework of connective tissue fibres running in different planes. Some of these fibres are apparently elastic. The circular muscle fibres which provide the power stroke in mantle contraction are of two types. Inner and outer mantle zones consist of well-vascularized mitochondria-rich fibres, whereas the central zone contains only mitochondria-poor fibres with a sparse vascular bed. Nerve terminals on the two fibre types are similar. The radial fibres opposing the circular fibres are of the same type as the central fibres, at least in the mid-region of the mantle. It is suggested that the central fibres are involved in escape jetting contractions, and that the fibres of the inner and outer zones are used during rhythmical respiratory contractions.
